Abstract: | Xiyangping Bridge, situated in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, China, is a half-through rigid-frame tied arch bridge. It consists of three spans. The central span is a half-through CFST arch with a span of 150m and the two side spans are cantilever reinforced concrete deck arches. The ribs in central span and in the two side spans are fixed at the arch seats. Tied bars of high tensile strength anchored at the two ends of the side spans balance the thrust forces of the arch. This paper presents the design, analysis as well as construction of this bridge. |
